Hi,
well closed up the case of my darmah, started to assemble the clutch and then I decided to check if I can switch to neutral, well guess what. I cant

If I spin the inner basket of the clutch the sprocket shaft will spin as well, no matter how much I try to play with the gear shifter nothing ...

well I tried to do it with oil,
maybe my seals were too old, maybe I should use grease.
Id still like to hear if there is some tricky method to put them on.

PS. the lower rocker arm is still in its place, didn't remove it as I understand it is very problematic to put it back.

thank god, I wont have to take the engine apart again

Tried to install new valve seals yesterday, ruined 4 of them. How can I put them on? is there a trick?

on a second thought .. I did take the rear axle when I took the chain off ... maybe I misplaced it then

Dont think it is it. I didnt take the axle apart. I took the engine apart, the sprockets, the brakes and all the elkectrical parts.
So its either from there or its just a spacer that somehow found its way to the ducati boxes.
PS. It was found in the box that had all the clutch parts

ran into the worst thing ever.
the lower engine is all complete, however I found a washer(distance piece) on my desk, and I have no idea where it should go. It is id17Xod30x6.5(yeah its very thick)
anyone has an idea where this should go?

Everything went easier then expected
here are the results :


tomorrow Ill get the circlips and try to assemble the whole thing

So this is the sad situation, I guess this explains why each time I touched the kickstarter while riding the bike it made strange noises.

Now what I thought to do is to use a dremel disc tool to ...

actually the situation is much sadder :wah" ... I didnt know that there should been a grove there ... all I have is one spline in tact .. all the others are broken off(apparently)
so the grove there supposed to be just like the one that holds the kick starter gear?
I can use a dremel tool to make ...

the snap ring should be cut so that I can put it under the grove and turn it? or it is plain?

Hi,
Fitted everything in place to close the crankcases, and ran into a little problem, I saw this diagram and it seems like I've misplaced the circlip holding the kick starter gear in place and the snap ring holding the spring(or maybe didn't have them in first place)

thanks, already printed them ... very good articles.
managed to open the screw ... nothing an impact gun cant solve they were just bolted really hard in.
going to grind the valves to fit them inside in a few days.

seems like the project is finally coming to an end

time is not on my side, have 1.5 months to finish the way too long overhaul.

got to the heads.
two questions:
1. when measuring the upper shim no pressure should be used right? (weired that both shims on the ex. were nearly 0 tolerance)
2. when measuring the lower shim, I can just measure the ...

reviving an old thread.
The guy who was working on my crank finally finished it(yes it took him nearly a year to do it)
noticed that all my crankcase bearings are dead :( so need to replace all of them.
two questions:
I still have one gear in my crankcase(the one with two bearings inside), how ...
